Everything’s clicking for the Heat, and after the third quarter of Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals Series, it’s the Celtics who are looking for their talents somewhere around South Beach. Miami leads, 76-62, entering the fourth quarter.
Heat Vs. Celtics Score: Miami Riding High After Third Quarter
The Heat have been excellent on offense against the stingy Celtics. LeBron James has 20 points on 13 shots, and James Jones has a staggering 19 points on just six shots. (He’s made five threes.) And the Heat’s offensive surge hasn’t required Dwyane Wade keeping up his blistering first half pace, either: Wade has 25 points after having 23 at the half.
Even better, the Heat aren’t allowing the Celtics to make up any ground at the other end. Ray Allen (19 points) and Paul Pierce (12) are the only Celtics in double digits, and the Celtics are shooting just 39% from the field.
